My dog Doug and I were looking down on a line of ants like we were dogsThey seemed to be so strong, so preoccupied, and man, so busy"A little bit like you," said Doug"Like when was the last time you looked up at the starsAnd realized how small and narrowly focused you really are?"So I asked him,"Is that why dogs howl at the moon?Is that why dogs howl at the moon?Is that why dogs howl at the moon?Is that why dogs howl at the moon?"Then Doug bent down and licked up those antsLeaving a river of spit for the others to contend withThose others, they just marched around without even a pauseAs if nothing at all had happenedDoug swallowed and said "Hey, that's funnyThey don't taste at all like my foodSince that's all they've been eatingYou'd certainly think that they would""Yeah, you'd think that they would" I agreed,You'd certainly think that they wouldSo I asked him,"Is that why dogs howl at the moon?SongtexteIs that why dogs howl at the moon?Is that why dogs howl at the moon?Is that why dogs howl at the moon?"Then later as we drove together on over the 405I saw out on the horizon this line of tiny carsFrom Trader Joe's downtown they stretched all the way into the hillsAnd I said to Doug "Now ain't that funnyWhat does that remind you of?Isn't it just like those antsGoing from your dog bowl into their ant hill?"Doug said "Yeah maybe, but that's not funnyYou missed one thing entirelyYou see, at least those antsThey're not putting a hole in the ozone layer."So I asked him,"Is that why dogs howl at the moon?Is that why dogs howl at the moon?Is that why dogs howl at the moon?Is that why dogs howl at the moon?"
